Good video. Detroit is dropping fast on this list, and what a great day it was for the City. Michigan Central Station had it's opening day concert, and will be open to the public the next week. The former train station was the symbol of Detroit's ruin and now it's restored as the symbol of Detroit's revival, the headquarters of Ford Motor Company's Corktown Mobility Campus.
@@youtubecommentreview4642 The part of it that borders Newark looks pretty fucked to me. Granted, I haven't seen it in a while so maybe it has changed.
There are two kinds here - places that are mostly abandoned with hardly anyone there and places that are packed with lots of people living there. So Philly and Baltimore should be 1 and 2 just from the sheer amounts of 'no two stinks given' about living in a garbage pile.
You know Detroit started their clean up by picking a day to haul away abandoned vehicles - and it grew into a huge event with fleets of tow trucks picking up thousands of them. There's still a lot to be done but Detroit has done a tremendous job at cleaning a lot of the city up the past few years. They just made an effort at it - no excuses for these places to get this bad.
@@W1se0ldg33zerGreat point. Philly is actually doing this right now. The entire summer, a bunch of different local agencies and departments are “cleaning up every single block” over the next 13 weeks or so. It’s an ambitious effort that began June 3. Waiting with bated breath to see the results.
I am 66 yrs old, (born in DC), but have lived in and around Baltimore since I was a toddler. My heart swelled with pride to see our Faire Citee rate #4 in your video. Even though MD has some of the wealthiest counties in the US (thanks to our proximity to DC and your Federal tax dollars), we Baltimoreans take pride in our Orioles, Ravens, and, last but not least, the latest in Plywood Windows and Maryland Zombie Voters, many of whom I saw stumbling along the west side, on their way to the corner liquor store with the Plexiglas vestibules.
Yea it looks like the country you can’t compare any of these to the northern cities Philly Bmore etc look way more grimy because they actually look urban
all right, might be silly 😅 but at 20:15 was written :No estacione in spanish which means no parking in english is there many immigants in these areas? Just curious
@@gabrielsr4791While the first response about “the badlands” is correct in that many Spanish-speaking people live in and around Kensington, the Philadelphia area and the Northeast of the United States in general is home for many Spanish-speaking people, lots of Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, and so on.
I don't get how all the houses even get like that so quick... I guess all it takes is for the windows to get smashed out and bunch of driving rain getting inside.
Its redlining and systemic segregation/ oppression. America was designed this way so that they could put the people they wish within the borders of these neighborhoods
As bad as this is, these are only certain areas of older US cities, low income minority and abandoned neighborhoods with old and obsolete infrastructure. These things go in cycles and some of these areas may eventually be fixed up, others will be bulldozed. There are of course very nice and rich areas in all of these cities, but this is still a very bad look. What it shows is how bad the situation has become with regard to income inequality here. Of course if this is all you show you would think the whole city is like this but that is generally not the case.
damn im from st. louis and lemme tell you i thought it was bad over here but no wayy i seen some wild neighborhoods from this video that changed my mind 😂😂
I'm from Philly, and I can attest to the apocalyptic conditions. Used to spend plenty of time up on K&A. Seemed like a pretty quiet day that day. Didn't see too many people nodding out in the video.
East Cleveland there are ppl living there?😯😨 it looks like a war zone! Philly ...all that trash...😟 How can ppl do that with a place? Man it is so sad to see these places like that ... Looks apocalyptical ... 😟 how can those ppl live that way? And why they let these places be like this?.. 😓
@@Paulo-og8rhwell obviously…when we see Brazil on tv in America we see beaches and shit…and of course we know there’s bad areas there…just like anywhere
@@Paulo-og8rhthese cities don’t look like this everywhere…these are bad neighborhoods within huge cities that have all kinds of areas nice, bad, and everything in between. America is a very diverse place
@@ancientlord7695 there are predominately black cities with above average income that are in great condition you racist. It's a financial/opportunity issue not a race issue.
St louis Get wild hectic got some of the worst looking hoods but neva have i imagined a city that look Worse east Cleveland look like a world war 1 warzone gadaayum
Part of crime has to do with the deterrence factor, and Baltimore cops have lady looking cop cars. Nothing strikes fear into the hearts of criminals like a brand new tiny female looking car. In Texas the cop cars are more aggressive and unfriendly. A lot less crime there.
Everyone should remember these drives are not the whole of the cities. These cities have a huge gap between the haves and the have nots. There are neighborhoods in Baltimore with people who are totally oblivious to what's going on around them.
Dubai was and continues to be built on the backs of slaves. We shouldn’t want to be anything like them - no grand castle in the sand sky justifies treating human beings that way. Regular degular Joe Schmoes don’t get to enjoy the beauty and riches of that “paradise” you speak of.
new orleans has seen a 40% drop in murders and violent crime this i think the city is bouncing back in a good way tbh i think it will start doing really well
You see it everywhere. It’s quite sad really. Like nobody in this neighborhood is going to live in that glass box. They can’t afford it and they’re being pushed out of their communities by morons who are capable of paying top dollar.
Yo lo que puedo observar viendo estos vídeos es que en ese país USA los americanos de piel blanca viven en la riqueza y los americanos de piel negra viven en la pobreza y no entiendo porque?😮
